After the Terraform relicensing ordeal, do yourself a favor, if you're starting greenfield, use your cloud provider's provided provisioning tools.
I wish I had CDK/Cloudformation skills, and not Terraform skills.
- Faaak 3y agoOpentofu is terraform compatible and way better than bicep imho
- thedougd 3y agoWhat about outside of AWS? Are folks only using a single provider? Our list of providers is long and includes a whole ecosystem of stuff from GitHub to Okta and Datadog. Everything needed to host and operate an application is in the Terraform configuration.
- sevagh 3y agoNot sure I ever saw the point of learning "provider-flavored" Terraform, i.e. needing to write 100% different modules for GCP and AWS. But I guess the shared model of state, provider configs, apply/plan is still valuable.
- lijok 3y agoBut Cloudflare, github, hetzner, etc don't provide a provisioning tool..
- FridgeSeal 3y agoOr, don’t, because the vast, vast majority of users are almost certainly not affected by the licensing change, and your life can continue on, literally unchanged.
- sevagh 3y agoWere you not quoted a significant price increase for your Terraform Cloud bill? Our firm (and many others) ran into this.
